Has there ever been more of a lie than the “stay logged in” button on Microsoft?

I’ve lost nearly three stone in the last year and according to a BMI calculator I should lose another three stone to be in the “healthy” category. It’s absolutely wild. I can accept that I needed to lose the first chunk but not entirely clear where the second chunk would come from…

The insufferable England band.

Yeah, I definitely knew it didn’t mean this too (you learn something new every day…)

I’m surprised people were surprised she would get a call up! With injuries and the minutes she’s getting, it would feel more surprising if she hadn’t. Very pleased for her!

“60% of parents don’t think it’s important that their child is toilet-trained by school age” that’s absolutely mental! Don’t have children if you think this!

The DfE internal polling on school preparedness has just depressed me no end. Having a child is hard! You still need to do the hard things to get them to where they need to be!

YA shouldn’t exist as a separate category—it infantilizes teenagers who can/should just read regular books for adults. And don’t get me started on adults reading YA…

WHAT this is a disgrace

M @captainmeg.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah I’ve had a big shift (maybe since I started working in education lol) about the need to build knowledge so people have the skills rather than “teach specific thing.” And also that the school should not be the every-parent. Your mum and dad should teach you about many things!

I used to be a “yeah they should put financial education on the curriculum” person and then someone very reasonably pointed out things like “who will be teaching it?” and it changed my mind.

Sort of lowkey doing this already by attempting to go to every city in the UK. Some of them really should not be cities…

What policy themed visitor trail would you do upon retirement? I would pilgrimage to visit the 100 Rishi Sunak outdoor chess sets around the country. I genuinely think it would be one of those fun random things that would take me to places I’d never otherwise go to

Same with Wayne Couzens. Indecent exposure is absolutely a gateway to more violent crimes (similar to correlations between domestic violence and terrorism).
